Baila Room

Ma prochaine invitée n’a pas peur d’exprimer son désarroi face à notre système d’éducation. Professeur depuis 20 ans, elle milite sur les réseaux sociaux afin de mettre la loupe sur les endroits de notre système d’éducation qui auraient besoin d’attention.  Honnête et passionnée,  elle nous donne l’heure juste sur sa réalité en tant qu’enseignante, mais aussi en tant que parent. 

In this video i am sharing with you some of my random thoughts about the Ai and it's repercussion on the content creator world.

I recently Visited the National Dance School of CANADA to chat with the co-founder

She understood at a very young age that to make a living from art, you have to be versatile. 

We talked about the challenges of creating a school from scratch and what it takes to work in the dance business

Without further due I bring you Sonia Clarke 

Robin Campbell is a brilliant entrepreneur, teacher, YouTube content creator and citizen of the world. 

He’s the founder of the Dance Dojo an online school that specialized in Salsa and Bachata. He operates his business in Medellin Columbia.     

During the conversation, one thing that stood out for me is his amazing ability to reverse engineer the learning process.

He is the definition of putting yourself in the shoes of your students to understand their real needs. 

Today I had the privilege to sit down and talk with an awesome and very passionate Youtuber/ Influencer who specializes in language learning.  It was a pleasure to dive into Big Bong's world.

Ilias is the founder and director of Baila Productions, one of Montreal's premiere Salsa dance schools. He has more than 20 years of experience in numerous dances: Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, African Dances and of course Salsa! My mission is to offer you a shortcut to happiness thru Salsa.

In this episode I discuss a situation that every male salsa student goes thru at least once during the learning process. 

Jesse Snow 

Born in Texas, he started training in gymnastics to then pursue cheerleading and finally he got a black belt Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.  

I was very curious on his views on politics and religion.  We had an amazing conversation.

Welcome to the Baila Room Podcast, my name is Ilias and today I had the chance to catch up with my old friend Kenneth Mockler.  He’s an accomplished musician and currently works at Meta formally known as Facebook.  6 years ago he moved from Quebec to Texas so I was really curious about his perspective on this state.  We also talked about the development of virtual reality and how Facebook posts are reviewed.  And guess what we even talked about Trump ;)  I had a blast taking to him.
